Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park is located in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, Thailand, and spans over an area rich in limestone hills and coastal wetlands. Established in 1966, the park is Thailand's first coastal national park. The name 'Khao Sam Roi Yot' translates to 'Mountain with Three Hundred Peaks', reflecting the stunning karst topography that defines the landscape. The park's terrain supports a range of biodiversity, including mangroves, marshes, and sandy beaches, providing habitat for various species such as the serow and the dusky leaf monkey. Birdwatchers flock to the park due to its popularity as a migratory stopover, particularly at Thung Sam Roi Yot Freshwater Marsh. Visitors can explore the famous Phraya Nakhon Cave, a breathtaking cave that houses a royal pavilion. The park offers activities such as hiking, kayaking, and wildlife watching, making it a prime destination for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike.
